A very sad ending had th 2018 CLAUSURA METRO LEAGUE.
The Olimpia de Asuncion de Asuncion Kings did not show up to the 5th game arguing the CPB did not give
the neccesary sports security conditions to play the game.
The Kings published through all their media that the presence of uruguayan referees for games
4th and 5th was not consulted with them.
However they were very confortable and secure with the argentinians present ate the 3 previous games.
Very tense were the previous days of the 5th game, nobody new what was going to happen until few minutes before the
5th game. Once there at the gym we saw what Olimpia de Asuncion de Asuncion announced they would do, which was not attending to the game.
It was a shocking atmosphere and a very dissapointing way of ending a League. Deportivo Deportivo San Jose Asuncion Asuncion won by WO, we all thought Olimpia de Asuncion de Asuncion
would show up until last minute but that never happened. Amazingly Deportivo Deportivo San Jose Asuncion Asuncion people or fans still celebrated very emotionally
the new Championship as if they had won on court.
It was evident the tense relationships among both clubs , the FINAL SERIES was 2-2. Very tied among both teams that were
playing better when they played away. Both teams won their away games , and lost their home games.
Scott Rogers (196-F, college: Trine) (196-F, college: Trine) was elected MVP. The authorities of the CPB handed out the different awards and cups at the Champion Ceremony
right after the uruguayan referees declared WO to Olimpia de Asuncion de Asuncion.
Ramon Sanchez s phisical agression to Nicolas Flores was one of the hot themes between Olimpia de Asuncion and the CPB
